Sunday April 15th.
We had stopped in Shreveport, LA Friday evening, April 13th, to "hunker" down for the major thunderstorm line that was forming around central Texas and heading east. The storm got to Shreveport about 1 a.m. Saturday morning, but was only wind and heavy rain. Thank God no tornados or hail. Drove across to Abilene, Texas Saturday the 14th in cool, overcast weather. We really enjoyed watching the change in scenery as we left the heavily wooded, swampy east Texas country and entered the "Hill Country" As we neared Dallas/Ft. Worth we could see the woods thin out until the countryside was mostly rolling hills with sparse wood lots. West of Ft. Worth we began seeing our first cactus along the fences. The trees began to turn from Oak and pines to short wild limbed Mesquite and patches of Texas Bluebell flowers began appearing along side the roadway.
We spent Sunday, April 15th, at a KOA by Abilene, Texas to catch up on some chores and get some down time from driving. We also decided on a change in route. Rather than go to El Paso, TX we decided to cut north to Carlsbad, NM where we will spend time site seeing Monday and Tuesday. Until then.

C & C, glad you missed much of the storms out west. The weather here is cold,wet and windy. It even snowed up Lancaster way. We had a leak in the roof. It seems the roofers put in a 1-1/2" vent pipe gasket for the plumber, who put a 1" pipe. Roofers came back out and changed the gaskets. We are fine and I am healing. Slowly but surely.
